A recent report highlights the alarming trend of black market groups on Facebook offering fraudulent ride-share accounts for sale or rent. TPP researchers discovered that by merely searching "uber account" on Facebook, users are bombarded with options to either buy or rent driver accounts, often at substantial prices. This not only compromises rider safety but also reveals a deeper issue concerning Facebook's advertising policies, as the platform profitably engages with these illicit ads without significant oversight due to absent regulations.
The infiltration of the black market in account fraud extends beyond posts on Facebook, manifesting in advertising, which remains Meta's primary revenue driver.
Ads on the platform are reviewed and approved before running, yet once removed, Meta has already profited, often ignoring harmful content due to lack of regulations.
